I have already PM’d reference this issue, but thought a forum post to back it up was a reasonable idea.I joined Game # 141484 Kinkyaid6 as a surrendered position for Austria in F04 build phase. Surprisingly not a single message had been received or sent to any participant, including public press.This did not prevent an F03 collaborative attack on Constantinople (occupied by Turkey at the time) by an Italian Fleet simultaneously supported by both Austria & Russia. Quite a considerable achievement of coordination, without a single word exchanged with at least one member of the attacking forces:-)

Clearly out of game communication is in progress, the extent of which I leave to be determined, but definitely Turkey (now on just 1 SC) has already had their game trashed by the underhand behaviour.

Platinum ClassicistVoilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished.

Already dealt with (game changed to Friends). Bottom line is, game should have been set up as a Friends game. Not sure if it was underhand or just sheer ignorance, but the game creator has been warned, as have all the friends in the group, about future games.
